WAA: Charlotte Chapter
WAA: Charlotte Chapter Founders’ Day
Thursday, May 21, 2009
From stem cells and biochemistry to folklore and film history, the University of Wisconsin-Madison has established itself as a leader in research breakthroughs and education. And for more than 85 years, the Wisconsin Alumni Association has hosted Founders’ Day celebrations in honor of these achievements and UW-Madison’s beginnings.
You’ll hear from Alan Fish at this time-honored event in the company of other area Badgers. And because we are proud of our Badger heritage, all it takes is a few verses of “Varsity,” sung with arms waving, to bring the heady memories of college days flooding back.
Register online by Thursday, May 14, 2009. (Select "U.S. Chapter Events 2008-2009")
Or, you may register by mail by downloading this printable registration form (pdf).
